Chapter 188: You\'re Obviously A Virgin

The one closest to him retracted its arms for a moment, and before one of those arms could be turned into a blade,

Cut!

The Wizzo’s arms spun, the blood spurting from them drawing circles in the air.

‘An arm… That turns into a sword…’

The Paru wasted no time. Instead of finishing the incapacitated Wizzo, he quickly moved to the next one, his bladearm cutting through their bodies like butter.

‘That’s so fucking cool!’ Roka thought to herself, her eyes shining. ‘I saw it on Serolia but forgot about it! Holy shit! So cool!’

Bang! Bang!

Two shots were fired in quick succession, both landing on one each of the remaining Wizzos’ eyes.

The Paru took that opportunity to slice and thrust through the Wizzos’ necks.

‘Blade of Bones Lv.2 allows me to control which portion of my body I want turned. Unlike Wizzos would turn their whole arm into a blade, I can turn it from the elbow down, allowing me more mobility. I wanted to test the toughness of it against a Wizzo’s, but I guess that’ll have to wait-‘

Just as the Paru was turning around, having finished the Wizzos,

“That’s…” Roka’s eyes glittered. “So cool!”

“Hm?”

The Commander’s gaze moved towards his arm.

He quickly deactivated his -Blade of Bones Lv.2- Skill.

“Sorry about that.” He muttered.

“Sorry? What about?”

The Paru frowned slightly.

“Isn’t it weird? Seeing that?”

“What? You have to be kidding!” Roka shouted, seemingly beyond excited by it. “Your arm turns into a fucking sword! A sword! Swords are cool enough on their own, but having your arm turn into one…”

The Paru, slightly surprised, remained silent.

“I mean… Swords are cool as fuck!” Roka added, feeling a bit awkward due to his silence. “Don’t you think?”

“No, I… Yeah, I guess. Huh.” He took a short pause. “Swords are cool as fuck.”

“I know right?? Since we’re using weapons and all I always wanted to use one, but Swords are… Kind of impractical and guns are just much better, so I never got to use one. But Swords are definitely the coolest weapon.” Roka explained as she nodded.

“I… Can’t say that I disagree. But where’s this coming fro-”

“Can you show me it!” Roka shouted as she hopped to stand by his side. It was a question, but it certainly didn’t feel like one. Her eagerness and excitement left no place for refusal.

“Uh… Sure.” The Paru raised his right arm and reached forward while Roka was standing to his right.

Roka watched as the skin of his arm rippled and bulged, the underlying bones shifting and growing. The flesh around his forearm twisted, allowing the appearance of a series of sharp, jagged protrusions. His fingers fused together, elongating and hardening.

The bones in his arm thickened and extended, reshaping into a dense blade. Veins and tendons wrapped around the new structure, pulsating. His skin stretched taut over the base of the newly formed bone blade, taking on a sleek, almost metallic sheen.

“Hm…” The Paru scratched his head with his left hand, keeping his gaze on his right arm, now a blade. “It’s pretty gross when you look at it from up close-”

“Cool…” Roka whispered as she reached and, “C-Can I?” The Commander asked. “Can I touch it?”

“If you’re not weirded out, then sure.” He shrugged.

“So cool…” Her fingers timidly reached for and came into contact with his blade arm.

“You’ve repeated that enough.”

“I know but…” She chuckled. “I don’t know what else to say…” Roka whispered, passing her fingertips over the surface of the blade arm. “It’s just… Super cool. What else can I say?”

“Well, alright.”

“I said that Swords were cool, but this thing is too big to be called a sword, isn’t it? It’s too big, too thick, and too rough.”

“Probably too heavy as well.” The Paru added with a chuckle.

“Yeah…” Roka nodded, her gaze transfixed on the blade arm. “It’s more like… Like a…”

“Like a Greatsword?”

Roka slowly raised her gaze to meet his, her eyes glittering more intensely than ever.

“Yeah!”

The Paru’s lips curled upwards as she stared into his eyes, amused.

“…”

Roka hurriedly moved her gaze towards the blade arm again, widening the distance between them by passing her fingertips over the upper portion of the blade, which was almost flat. Completely different from the lower portion, which was incredibly sharp.

“Greatswords are really cool too…” She whispered while inspecting every inch of his sword. “Cooler than Swords, I think.”

“Yeah?”

Her gaze suddenly moved to meet his. Roka was blushing.

“S-Sorry.” She looked away. “I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to these things. Hope I didn’t bore you with my loser talk.”

“Loser talk?”

“Y-Yeah…” Roka scratched her head. “I used to be really into Swords and other weapons. Maybe that’s why I’m here instead of living a normal life…” She whispered, her index finger lingering on the blade. “It’s loser talk, isn’t it? At least, that’s what I’ve always heard. Probably why I’m still…”

“Liking swords has nothing to do with being a virgin.” The Paru argued.

“Ha! Well, plenty would… Disa… Gree…” A frown slowly formed on Roka’s blushing face. “How the fuck do you know about that?”

“About what?” The Paru cleared his throat.

“About… That! The thing you just said!”

“Um. Felt like where your sentence was going.”

“It didn’t! It wasn’t going there at all!”

“Well… My bad?”

All of a sudden, Roka felt immense embarrassment flush over her.

She once had doubts. Doubts about that night when she woke up burning up after having dreamt of…

There was no way for him to learn that! No way… Except having eavesdropped on her.

But when would she have mentioned the fact that she was a virgin?

There was only one situation in which Roka would do so. When touching herself.

“How… Did you know?” The Commander asked again.

It was a tough decision, but the Paru felt there was no other way out of this. Her tone made it obvious.

“You…”

‘I…?’

“Just feel like a virgin.”

“What…?”

“I mean… It’s pretty obvious that you are one.”

“Huh?”

“From the way that you talk and… All that.”

“Oh, I see…” Roka frowned suddenly. “WAIT, WHAT?!”
